Mixed linear regression model for predicting BMI

Predictor variables	Adjusted Estimates in Model	Standard Error	DF	95% Confidence Intervals	p
Female sex	−0.41	0.89	136	(−2.17 to 1.34)	.64
Age	2.03	0.44	239	(1.2 to 2.90)	<.0001
Age²	−0.05	0.02	225	(−0.09 to −0.02)	.001
Years of follow-up	0.47	0.33	175	(−0.18 to 1.1)	.15
LOC eating	2.0	1.32	137	(−0.59 to 4.63)	.13
ChEDE Restraint	1.70	0.72	134	(0.27 to 3.13)	.02
ChEDE Weight Concern	3.20	0.52	136	(2.18 to 4.22)	<.0001
LOC eating by years of follow-up	0.61	0.26	152	(0.09 to 1.14)	.01

Notes: Predictor variables, other than years of follow-up, were measured at baseline. LOC eating, loss of control eating; reference group = “never” category (zero). ChEDE = Eating Disorder Examination adapted for Children.
